Rachel's big performance

This past weekend was way cool. We went to IL for Rachel's Ice Skating Recital. We left Saturday morning and had lunch with mom, grandma and kristina at Monical's. Yummy, Yummy! After lunch Chris went to Grandma's and helped her work in the attic and did some handy-man jobs on the back porch with mom. Kristina and I went to the bank and then went to get her layers put in her hair at the mall. Later Chris and I went to the open skate and went around a few laps. I got my $3.00 skates from the Goodwill sharpened for $5.00. :) Check out the photos! I got some videos to post later. After skating we drove around the big D-ville to see how much it has changed. We drove by Chris' old hood and then we stopped by the Ames' house because they were outside working. and OMG I did not recognize Jennifer at all! We saw Bub at some point last year I think, but I have not seen Jennifer since she was like 6 or 7...now she's a sophomore! Michelle was at work but hear she is very, very tall. :) When we got back to Mom's it was time to go to the center and get Rachel's makeup put on her. Then is was show time. Aunt Marianne, Uncle and Andy and Grandma all joined us later for the show. Jason, Autumn and Donna were there also. Grandpa had to work but he got there in time for the second half of the show. We bought Rachel flowers for after her performance. Ashley got to give her yellow flowers because Rachel skated to Yellow Submarine. :) We went to dinner at Montanta Mike's with Mom, Kristina and Dustin.

Sunday morning Chris finished his work on the laptop. We headed to Champaign and had lunch with Brent, Amanda and Makenna at our favorite Chinese Buffett. After lunch we headed home and watched some tv, ate dinner and then retired the weekend. Another week is upon us all.
